I'm gonna lose it!
Working in the healthcare field I see a ton of people everyday. Since Monday the MS born Tide fans have come out in force. They can't spell Tuscaloosa or find it on a map of Alabama. There are more letters in the word Tuscaloosa than teeth in their mouth. Evidently Roll tide is what they scream before assaulting the buffet at Golden Corral. And double wide not only refers to their living accommodations.
Should we really be bitching about fat fans?
When they are draped in Crimson? Yes.Quote:

Nope, Rankin. I've never seen the amount of Crimson in Rankin like this before. I think some are the sidewalk ole miss fans that jumped off the bandwagon.Quote:

In fact, if "Bama" lost I can tell you this dogs name would have been Georgia because naturally Georgia would have then been his favorite team.
Lowndes, Monroe, Itawamba, and Tishamingo counties are full of them. I’m sure the border counties going south are just as bad. When I was a kid about half of them or more would have been Rebels. Since the Rebs don’t win much since Vaught left.......Row Tahde!Quote:

Tishomingo Co. is the worse! A Dawg friend of mine said that the Ms. Legislature should pass a bill that the value of your bama decals and flags on your Ms. tagged vehicle could not exceed the value of said vehicle. Most have been no further east in bama than Red Bay. More of them than true State and UNM fans combined. Hail State!Quote:

And Adams where I grew up. It's ridiculous. They outnumber MSU, USM, TCUN, and all our HBCUs combined 10 to 1. And I promise not 1 in 30 of them attended a class at LSU. And not 1 in 20 have been to an LSU game or even set foot on campus.Quote:

Takes guts, love, $, and true devotion to be a true fan, like a MSU fan. Anyone, even with little or no knowledge of a program can be a sidewalk fan. I have more respect for my friends and family that are true (but semi-normal) UNM fans than all these Ms. "bama fans" in the border county where I live. See a State fan in a State t-shirt, he went to State, a UNM so dressed went there. See these Tishomingo and Itawamba "bama fans" in bama gear, they went to the Fulton or Iuka Walmart. More bama gear for sale there than MSU and UNM combined.
